Answer

Correct option: A.

$\left(-\frac{3}{2}, 3 \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}\right)$

a
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=\overrightarrow{0}$

$\Rightarrow|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}|^{2}+|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}|^{2}+|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}|^{2}+2(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}})+2(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}})+2(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}})=0$

$\lambda=\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}+\vec{b} \cdot \vec{c}+\vec{c} \cdot \vec{a}=\frac{-3}{2}$

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{d}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}$

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}+\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=\overrightarrow{0}$

$\Rightarrow \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{c}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}}$

$\Rightarrow \overrightarrow{\mathrm{d}}=3(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{a}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{b}})$
